向Enum转换和从Enum转换的不同方式

enum orientation : byte
{
 north = 1,
 south = 2,
 east = 3,
 west = 4
}

class Program
{
  static void Main(string[] args)
  {
    orientation myDirection = orientation.north;
    Console.WriteLine(“myDirection = {0}”, myDirection); //output myDirection =north
    Console.WriteLine((byte)myDirection); //output 1

    string strDir = Convert.ToString(myDirection);
        Console.WriteLine(strDir); //output north

    string myString = “north”; //to convert string to Enum
    myDirection = (orientation)Enum.Parse(typeof(orientation),myString);


 }
}

在我的例子中，我需要从WCF服务返回枚举。我还需要一个友好的名称，而不仅仅是enum.ToString（）。

这是我的WCF类。

[DataContract]
public class EnumMember
{
    [DataMember]
    public string Description { get; set; }

    [DataMember]
    public int Value { get; set; }

    public static List<EnumMember> ConvertToList<T>()
    {
        Type type = typeof(T);

        if (!type.IsEnum)
        {
            throw new ArgumentException("T must be of type enumeration.");
        }

        var members = new List<EnumMember>();

        foreach (string item in System.Enum.GetNames(type))
        {
            var enumType = System.Enum.Parse(type, item);

            members.Add(
                new EnumMember() { Description = enumType.GetDescriptionValue(), Value = ((IConvertible)enumType).ToInt32(null) });
        }

        return members;
    }
}

下面是从Enum获取Description的Extension方法。

    public static string GetDescriptionValue<T>(this T source)
    {
        FieldInfo fileInfo = source.GetType().GetField(source.ToString());
        DescriptionAttribute[] attributes = (DescriptionAttribute[])fileInfo.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(DescriptionAttribute), false);            

        if (attributes != null && attributes.Length > 0)
        {
            return attributes[0].Description;
        }
        else
        {
            return source.ToString();
        }
    }

实施：

return EnumMember.ConvertToList<YourType>();

您只需使用显式转换Cast int to enum或enum to int

class Program
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Console.WriteLine((int)Number.three); //Output=3

        Console.WriteLine((Number)3);// Outout three
        Console.Read();
    }

    public enum Number
    {
        Zero = 0,
        One = 1,
        Two = 2,
        three = 3
    }
}

这是一个标志枚举感知安全转换方法：

public static bool TryConvertToEnum<T>(this int instance, out T result)
  where T: Enum
{
  var enumType = typeof (T);
  var success = Enum.IsDefined(enumType, instance);
  if (success)
  {
    result = (T)Enum.ToObject(enumType, instance);
  }
  else
  {
    result = default(T);
  }
  return success;
}

你应该建立一些类型匹配的放松机制，以更加健壮。

public static T ToEnum<T>(dynamic value)
{
    if (value == null)
    {
        // default value of an enum is the object that corresponds to
        // the default value of its underlying type
        // https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/language-reference/keywords/default-values-table
        value = Activator.CreateInstance(Enum.GetUnderlyingType(typeof(T)));
    }
    else if (value is string name)
    {
        return (T)Enum.Parse(typeof(T), name);
    }

    return (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T),
             Convert.ChangeType(value, Enum.GetUnderlyingType(typeof(T))));
}

测试用例

[Flags]
public enum A : uint
{
    None  = 0, 
    X     = 1 < 0,
    Y     = 1 < 1
}

static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var value = EnumHelper.ToEnum<A>(7m);
    var x = value.HasFlag(A.X); // true
    var y = value.HasFlag(A.Y); // true

    var value2 = EnumHelper.ToEnum<A>("X");

    var value3 = EnumHelper.ToEnum<A>(null);

    Console.ReadKey();
}

下面是一个很好的枚举实用程序类

public static class EnumHelper
{
    public static int[] ToIntArray<T>(T[] value)
    {
        int[] result = new int[value.Length];
        for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
            result[i] = Convert.ToInt32(value[i]);
        return result;
    }

    public static T[] FromIntArray<T>(int[] value) 
    {
        T[] result = new T[value.Length];
        for (int i = 0; i < value.Length; i++)
            result[i] = (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T),value[i]);
        return result;
    }


    internal static T Parse<T>(string value, T defaultValue)
    {
        if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), value))
            return (T) Enum.Parse(typeof (T), value);

        int num;
        if(int.TryParse(value,out num))
        {
            if (Enum.IsDefined(typeof(T), num))
                return (T)Enum.ToObject(typeof(T), num);
        }

        return defaultValue;
    }
}
